    About this ebook

    Combining typefaces is challenging and fun, but it takes practice. Successful combinations are partly a matter of good taste, which can be tough to develop. And finding typefaces that work well together often takes more time than we (or our managers, or our spouses!) think it should.

    This pocket guide will give you a framework for efficient practice, lead you to founts of knowledge and help you judge the work you see, including your own work. It will encourage you to be selective, patient and reasonable, focusing on web contexts and your design goals.

      I was hoping for more from this. Chapter 4, the part on actually combining typefaces, really could have used some additional explanation and examples. Some of the images seemed weirdly cropped or too low-res, I'm not sure if that's just the Kindle version, the ipad kindle app, or what.
